Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop says the three priorities that need further work include predictable government funding signals; multi-year budgeting; and coordinated workforce development.
Almost all of Parliament is backing the 30-year Infrastructure Plan, with the government agreeing in full to 13 of 16 recommendations and four further actions.
The remaining three recommendations are supported in principle, and the government says further work is required.
Labour and the Greens have also offered explicit support, with both parties writing forewords to the government's response, welcoming a long-term non-partisan approach - although the Greens wanted the government to go further.
The NZ Infrastructure Commission provided the Infrastructure Plan to the government in December and unveiled it publicly in February, setting out 16 recommendations and 10 priorities for the next decade.
